Bad Beat: Over bettors in UT Arlington-Seattle game lost on buzzer beater that wasn't counted

We’ve officially turned the calendar to March, which means March Madness is rapidly approaching — and with that comes buzzer-beaters, upsets and general betting pandemonium.

It also means a plethora of bad beats for bettors.

This one, which occurred when the clock was still in February, had to do with the total in a Texas-Arlington vs. Seattle game in which the total was 144.5

With the score UT-Arlington 82, Seattle 62 and under five seconds left, the game was comfortably in hand. However, a UT-Arlington player felt he needed one more basket, so he went in for an uncontested layup and appeared to make it with under a second remaining.

The officials did not agree.

An all-time bad beat

This last second basket in UTA-Seattle clearly went in before the buzzer.

However, the referees did not count it and the final score was 82-62…

It wasn’t counted, which made the final score 82-62, and the game stayed under by half a point.

Brutal.
